On technical details I refrain at this point and deliberately confine myself exclusively to the subjective perception. It seems at first glance a bit pricey and can be his eyes wander here so, you will quickly find out that it is one of the most expensive or even the most expensive USB mic ever. But the investment is worth definitely! I use the Mirkfofon for recordings to various podcasts and private websites. It may seem somewhat oversized for this appear, but I've never can digitize voice spoken so freely and easily! It is large and heavy, no question, but that can be attributed to the very high quality workmanship and disturb absolutely not. Meaningful and absolutely necessary complement is an appropriate tripod! Although only hold in your hand is also, but quickly leads to Ermüdungserscheinugen. Rode completes the overall picture of the microphone anyway by a whole range of useful, but unfortunately very expensive accessories. So the choice of microphone-arm stand and the spindle can again propose to book with around 120 Euro, but also makes you feel at home at a then as the moderator of the local radio station. Who does not need the spindle or want to miss out entirely on accessories Rode, comes with a matching tripod stand away much cheaper. Reference is made at this point, then, that this tripod to carry 2 kilos could. It is easily recognized under Windows Vista (Business Version with me) and in conjunction with the Podcast Maker from Magix happiness is (for a podcaster at least) perfect. The volume control and the option of connecting headphones to the microphone itself is not bad, but was in the 9 months (in which I have now) never used. There is no need for loud roar or an extremely contorted position that to make a really good sound recording. Simply turn the microphone in your direction and speak normally. Even low voices are recorded clearly audible. What must be remembered, perhaps, is the rather high sensitivity, so that one always chooses a tranquil setting for his recordings, you want afterwards not have too much cover up with software! For my application a true S-class and almost degrading that it "only" for voice recordings in podcasts and web pages applies because it certainly rely too much higher, but I would not trade it for anything else!
